GN Solids Control manufactures a complete line of equipment for the control, separation and transport of solids, including decanter centrifuges (2-phase and 3-phase), disc separators, shale shakers, screw filter presses, etc. Much of the equipment needs the explosion-proof capability to be able to work in hazardous operating conditions.
Due to this requirement, GN Solids Control manufactures blast control panels for the applications. A typical application is the decanter centrifuge in oil and gas drilling.
For such an application, GN Solids Control provides an air-conditioned control panel. This type of control panel can work up to 55 degrees Celsius.
This type of panel uses an airtight, corrosion-resistant stainless steel casing. Compressed air is fed into the control panel to establish a positive pressure so that the explosive gas cannot enter the control panel and thus an explosion does not occur.
Inside this control panel are all the control elements. The most important is the PLC.
GN Solids Control standardized PLC, uses Omron or Siemens, and is moving to use only Siemens PLCs and touch screens.
The control panel also houses the VFD. Due to the high power of VFDs, it is necessary to use a large enclosure. Good ventilation is imperative for such an application.
The advanced control program is used in the said control panel. It will control the decanter centrifuge, it will automatically and continuously optimize the parameters of the decanter centrifuge so that it always works in optimal conditions according to the predefined target. It also monitors the temperature and vibration of decanter centrifuges to protect your safety. GN Solids Control also provides an optional monitoring kit to provide real-time analysis of bearings and alerts once anomalies are found by the PLC through its advanced algorithm.
The GN Solids Control Dashboard also provides other functionality please contact GN Solids Control for more information.
